In Sachdeva and another v Sandhu and another , QBD 27 February 1989, it was held that in the context of the duty owed by the defendants, estate agents, it was irrelevant whether the plaintiffs had a lease or a licence . Prior to the plaintiffs going into occupation, the agents had turned off the ground-floor stop-cock, therefore there was no negligence in turning on that stop-cock when the plaintiffs moved in, and were not negligent in failing to contemplate a burst water main on the upper floors.
